Collaborate more efficiently
Unity Plastic SCM is a version control and source code management tool, built for game and real-time 3D development, to improve team collaboration and scalability with any engine. It offers optimized workflows for artists and programmers, as well as superior speed working with large files and binaries.
New Plastic SCM web experience now in open beta
Plastic SCM Cloud Edition users now have access to powerful VCS functionality directly from the Unity web dashboard. You can onboard and permission new users, view content across both org and repo levels, and kick off and conduct code reviews without downloading or opening a separate client.
Work distributed, centralized or both
Developers can work either centralized or distributed with a full branching and merging solution. File-based workflows and an intuitive UI make access more intuitive for artists.
Manage large files with speed
Plastic supports big files, huge repos, and projects of any complexity. With faster, WAN-optimized data transfers, your distributed team can collaborate quickly and confidently.
Supports any engine
Unlock new levels of productivity within Unity or use Plastic SCM with any other engine – it just works.

“Plastic can handle large files and repositories. The visual branch manager is excellent; our graphic designers can use it with ease. It’s easy to give an external person limited access to certain projects.”
“Plastic SCM manages art assets particularly well. The speed of pulling and pushing sizable repos is impressive, and the system is considerably faster than our previous solution. The UI is intuitive for both developers and artists.”
“Plastic SCM allowed our entire team, including the less technical members, to create and merge branches. The awesome Plastic SCM UI allows everyone to see what’s happening, merge between branches, and coordinate their check-ins with ease.”
“Where Plastic SCM excels for us is branches and merging. We have done some really, really huge merges over the years – the kind of merges that you would have ended up having to do by hand with other tools. It just works.”
Pricing
Your first three users and 5GB of monthly data storage are free. After that, pricing depends on your monthly active users and total cloud storage. See the table below for full pricing.

Frequently asked questions
No, you can combine Plastic with almost any other software in your stack to unlock a powerful VCS. However, the Plastic package for Unity makes using Plastic within the core engine extra intuitive.
To begin using Plastic, you just need to sign up for the service using your Unity account. You can find a helpful guide for getting started in the Unity editor or another engine here. If you have more questions before you get started, please feel free to contact us.
Plastic SCM Cloud Edition is a hosted, multi-tenant, cloud-based Plastic SCM server that organizations can use to store their Plastic SCM repositories in the cloud. Learn more
Plastic SCM Cloud Edition is version control for game development teams working with large repositories and files who only need a Cloud server (and optional local cloned repos). You can push/pull (or directly check in) to a cloud server. Cloud Edition includes a Plastic SCM client and the cloud service.
You’ll need a Plastic Cloud Edition subscription to store your repositories in the Plastic SCM hosted service.
No.
You push your data from your local Plastic SCM server to Plastic Cloud.
Yes, you can check in and merge directly to the cloud.
Yes, you can. You can also configure the files that will be locked on checkout from your Plastic Cloud organization’s dashboard.
You need 5.4.16.719 or higher. Our network API was updated and expanded for Plastic Cloud, so older versions will not work.
Plastic SCM can encrypt your code and data before uploading it to Plastic Cloud. When you request a new Plastic Cloud organization to host your repositories, you can set it as “encrypted”. This means that whenever you upload data to it, Plastic Cloud requires data encryption.
Plastic Cloud only allows SSL connections.
Plastic SCM Cloud Edition includes a free tier with three free active users and 5 GB of storage. After the fourth user, you pay monthly per active user. If a user is not active during a month, you are not billed for that user that month. If you exceed 5 GB of storage, you pay for extra storage per team, not per user. See pricing for details.
